Page 24: Figure 4-1. Web Path/Label Threading Path
L500A V2 High Speed Labeler Manual Refer to Figure 4‑1 to assist in proper label threading. A label threading diagram is supplied on the front of the labeler. Store label stock in a cool, dry place to avoid heat damage.
Page 25: Figure 4-2. Unwind Assembly/Installing New Labels
Chapter 4 Applicator Setup Procedure Refer to the circled numbers (1 through 18) on the front of the Labeler as shown in Figure 4‑1 to assist you in following this label threading procedure. Step 1. Remove Outer Flange. With the power off, remove the outer disk from the unwind roller by releasing the handles and lifting the cover up and off the unwind extrusion.
Page 26 L500A V2 High Speed Labeler Manual Step 4. The Nip Roller. To thread the stock between the drive roller and the nip roller, you must first release the tension on the nip rollers. Lift up on the lockout knob on top of the face plate cover (see Figure 4‑3) and rotate them 180˚. Move each cam outward until the cams' locks drop back down into the slots. This locks the nip rollers away from the drive shaft.
Page 27: Figure 4-4. Rewind Assembly/Threading
Chapter 4 Applicator Setup Do not use foil or metal labels with capacitance sensor. They will dam- age the label sensor. Step 6. Second Nip Roller. Thread the label back up towards the drive shaft, feeding the label between the drive shaft and the 2nd nip roller (refer to position #12).
Page 28 L500A V2 High Speed Labeler Manual Step 9. Re-engage the Nip Roller Lockout Knobs. Re‑engage the nip roller lockout knobs by turning the knobs 180˚, lifting up on the knobs and pulling them center towards the drive shaft (this should be tight, and maintain a firm grip on the knobs). Once the nip rollers are in place, push the knobs down into the openings on the front cover (see Figure 4‑3).

Page 33: Lion Lrd 2100 Label Sensor
Chapter 4 Applicator Setup should be on. If a red pulse is not observable, reduce the GAIN control (counterclockwise rotation) to obtain a countable pulse rate. Once you feel comfortable with the set GAIN, test by removing the object from the sensing position. The red LED indicator should go “off”. If the LED indicator does not go “off”, the sensor is reacting to light reflected from a background surface.
Page 34 L500A V2 High Speed Labeler Manual Setup The sensor is stable and should not require re‑adjustment after the first initial setup unless there is significant change in the shape and/or thick‑ ness of the label, or changes in power supply voltage. Step 1. Remove all material from sensor. Step 2. Gain Adjust. Center "GAIN ADJUST" (see Figure 4‑10) ‑ Turn GAIN ADJUST four (4) turns counter‑clockwise, then turn GAIN ADJUST two (2) turns clockwise.

Page 57: Figure 5-4. Label Auto-Teach
Chapter 5 Operator Interface There are two ways to enter the label pitch and stop distance for the Label‑Teach operation: Option 1. Measure label pitch (length + gap) and stop distance and enter as param‑ eters using the terminal. Note: All values are in motor steps. Option 2. Place label web with manual function to the dispensing position. Then activate the LABEL_TEACH to start teach in procedure (Note: motor moves with the low jog speed).

Chapter 5 Operator Interface How the adjust keys work: MOMENTARILY Push the adjust + or ‑ key momentarily advances the selected parameter by one increment. HOLD Push and hold the adjust + or ‑ key advances the selected param‑ eter slowly. HOLD 5 seconds Push and hold the adjust + or ‑ key for 5 seconds will advance the selected parameter fast. Note: It is recommended to set the delay in the parameter menu first as close as possible to the desired position. Especially when there is a high encoder line count the change of the label position on the product is minimal for a single encoder increment and it will take a long time to adjust the label position.
